Regrettably, despite the epidemic rate of growing use of psychoactive substances after 1990, the public continues to know too little about the drug users, as well as about the risks related to them. The project ,,From Pilot to Professional’’, funded under the EU PHARE programme made possible the conduction of the first national survey among out of treatment injection drug users (IDU) in the country. In the summer of 2003 four Bulgarian non-government organizations - Initiative for Health Foundation - Sofia, Dose of Love Association - Bourgas, Panacea Foundation - Plovdiv, and Pleven 21 Century Foundation in cooperation with the Addiction Research Institute IVO - Rotterdam succeeded in conducting a survey requiring special efforts.
